You have my attention, do go on.
Well a merchant that has his shop full of wares so like The Sword of Mount Juli or The Great Axe of Grut but these times will be shadowed in the inventory but The sword of mount Juli is actually a broken long knife while the great axe of Grut is a massive axe with enchantments. So a merchant who sells you wares that have really impressive names but could be really terrible or the best weapon in the game

I think you are going to need an Arborist class. To grow trees 
Maybe a higher level version that uses magic and or harnesses magic from trees?

Could be something with that aura that ancient trees give off?

We need a potter class. they would use clay (probably found only when mining dirt) to make plates, flower pots, bricks, etc. the talisman would be the pottersā wire, crafted by the blacksmith. he would have two workshops: the wheel, where he makes the items, and the kiln, where he cooks them to harden.

As others have mentioned getting the right ores/resources from mining seems quite challenging at the moment.
A possible solution to this is a Prospector profession who will go out and locate ore veins for you. As the profession levels you could perhaps instruct them about what type of ore youāre looking for and they could check deeper in to the rock without mining as they level. Prospectors could claim/mark veins of ore on the Map.
An advancement on this profession could be Miner. A miner could be instructed to Mine a particular vein of ore. Once they get more advanced they could be asked to mine a particular ore type and then just go to the right vein to get it (a nice way to order your ore requirements). Perhaps a climbing ability would be good on miners too.
Both professions would need a speed boost as theyāre likely to go to more remote locations and some sort of survivability boost as they could encounter hostile creatures when they are far away from the base.
If itās all too hard then never mind, but to me on the surface these seem like good ideas.

After i have heard @Tom talking about the cook class on stream, he said itās for fighting rot. I got a bit dissapointed, i want a bit more from the class.
The cook should be able to make both big meal and small meals. The big meals takes longer to make, feeds more and last longer. The small meals are faster to make but feeds less and last for a short while, but the workers can get back to work quicker.
And there should be some special meals with buffs like faster movment, more health or stay awake for longer (coffee) for a limited time (like 5 minutes)

So, Iām one of those guys who likes to deforest an entire map then start over sometimes.
With the forester you can set upto a 49x49 area that a hearthling can plant saplings into. Said saplings would be specified similarly to the Farmers, eg. a drop down window with Oak or Juniper.
The Forester-axe would be made with a blacksmith consisting of: 2 Steel ingot, 1 Silver Ingot, 2 Wood, and a Farmerās Hoe (being the most complex item to make in the game :p)
Planting Mechanics:
A forest needs at least a 7x7 are to plant a sapling, because of the chance of becoming an ancient tree. So, having a 49x49 area would allow for 49 saplings to be place in the area.
How it would level up:
Every sapling planted would get 4xp. Each tree chopped would give xp based on the type.
Small: 10xp, Medium: 15xp, Large: 20xp, Ancient: 30xp.
Forester Skills:
Level 1: Move 10% faster, and plant both Juniper and Oak trees.
Level 2: Chop 25% faster.
Level 3: Hold up to 12 logs at a time
Level 4: Trees grow 10% faster
Level 5: 1% chance for a tree that is planted to instantly grow and become an Ancient Tree of their respective type.
Level 6: When chopping an ancient tree; there is a 10% chance of harvest a magic log.
Magic logs would be required to make magic weapon later down the road.

Weāve actually had a few people already suggest a Forester class. Check out this thread:

I agree with you BacMan12! I feel that the use of a baker could not only create meals but also minimize the space taken up by farmerās crops. I remember seeing in the January 2013 archives additional crops for farmers such as wheat and what looked to be raddishes? Wheat in particular could easily be used for bread, etc. And, considering in the food section of the stockpile UI, there is a loaf of bread (and a pitcher of ale?) these could be great aspects to the cook/chef!

Reaper
Weapon: Scythe
Description: Balanced soldiers capable of harming multiple enemies with one strike from his/her scythe.
Lancast

Arbalest

Description: Elite crossbow users wielding formidable crossbows that deal heavy splash damage. The downside are they are slow to reload and the crossbow needs to deploy.
Sniper
Weapon: Musket Rifle, Longbow and Salvo Crossbow
Description: All around masters of ranged weapons. They are the elite wielders of bows and musket, improving both the rate of fire and range.
Magic:
Mage
Weapon: Tome ( Magic Book ) or Staff ( or Stave )

Mounted:
NOTE: Add horses and give it the option to either ride or kill them ( you get horse meat for killing ).
NOTE 2: It doesnāt necessarily have to be horse always. If possible, dragons would be a good mount ( Flying or non-flying ).

I just wanted to say, in a not very recent stream, Tom said they didnāt want to use generic mounts like horses, and something more like this instead.
Yes, somebody actually showed him this picture, and he said that a mount might look something like that. At least, Iām pretty sure it was this pictureā¦
Cute. But somehow it still resembles like a horse.
Ah, true. Well, you see, let me explain. Somebody showed Tom a picture of that deer the guy rides in Princess Mononoke. Then Tom said the it could be similar to that, but with shorter legs and bigger horns. So, somebody got him a (probably different) picture of a plushie version of the deer the guy rode, and he said it would be more like that. Soā¦ yeah. Weaver makes mounts?

i know that the devs are still in development for the class trees and enemies, but i just want to add in a few things if they have not been thought of.
A few classes and enemies iām sure they are thinking of adding but still want to suggest: A cook, a mage, and a berserker (Much like the footsmen but fully leveled and moves faster and hits harder than itās counterpart.)
a couple intresting classes i think should be added:
Morpher: Much like a summoner but can turn animals into soldiers for the town, but to keep it from being overpowered, some animals take up more mana too keep than others. for instance, a bear would take up a full bar like how three squirrel soldier would take up a full bar. (For some reason iām now laughing and the thought of squirrel soliders.)
Assassin: Is able to keep invisible for short times, and can be used too search areas of the map. doesnāt do much damage, but can do major damage from an attack from the behind.
Brewer: Iām sure this one is already being implemented since i saw that drinks were a food item, but still, the sooner the better.
Summoner: This one should explain itself, he canāt attack himseklf, but can summon help if needed. the higher the level, the bigger the beast.
And now a few Hostile charecters:
Murk: A swamp like creature thatās slimey but shaped like a human. moves slow, but a hit slows down other charecters as well.
Hot head: A fiery orb that has a face, itās main objective is too chase down and explode in contact with hearthlings.
Rabid squirrel: Itās a squirrelā¦ Thatās rabidā¦ I donāt reccomend petting it. (Would be funny if they occasionally raided your town though.)
The insane: Hearthlings that have lost their minds, roaming the land thinking that everything is their enemy. they will often times be gaurds in a fromer city, ergo they will be carryng armer and a weapon of some sort.
and of course, a motherā¦*******ā¦ dragon: Look on the bright side, if you donāt have cook, thereās another way too cook your foodā¦ as well as the rest of your arm too

Cook i think is the most needed class 
I think a good idea for a class would be a Sculptor. It would branch off from the mason and could make Statues of various things for your city. I think it would be awesome to have a kind of Editing place for statues the same to way that you make houses just with smaller voxels, that way everybody could have some kind of statue unique to them! By far not a needed addition to the game but maybe in the final release of the game it would be nice. Technically this isnāt a class more of a job but stillā¦
